   Just as Qiu Wuya was about to stretch out his hand, a rickety figure suddenly appeared from behind the tombstone - it was the white-haired old woman from the night when the temple was ruined. At this moment, her eyes were only filled with blood holes, and she was holding an embroidered pillow exactly like the mandarin duck pillow in her hand. "Pillows in pairs..." The old woman grinned, revealing a mouth full of iron nails for nailing the coffin, "It's time to bury them together..." The old woman's skinny fingers stroked the embroidered pillow, and her golden-threaded mandarin duck's eyes suddenly turned, staring straight at Qiu Wuya. The mandarin duck pillow behind him trembled violently, as if it wanted to break away from the baggage and fly towards the old woman. Alu threw the dagger violently, and the tip of the knife pierced the old woman's eyebrow. There was no blood, and only black smoke spurted out from the wound. The old woman's body collapsed like a deflated skin, her wedding dress was lying on the floor, but her embroidered pillow was suspended in the air, slowly drifting towards Qiu Wuya. "Don't let it touch your pillow!" Liu Qiniang threw out three copper coins, which ignited green fire in the air. However, it was too late. The moment the two mandarin duck pillows collided, the golden threads were entangled like living snakes. The scars on the back of Qiu Wuya's neck exploded in pain, and countless squirming threads protruded under the skin. He staggered to his knees and saw his own shadow suddenly standing up - a complete mandarin duck pattern suddenly appeared on the shadow's neck.
